The extent of damage or the diseases spread will depend on the type of rodents that invade the farm. This study was conducted in order to find out the species of rodents that infest poultry farms around Mafikeng, North West Province of South Africa. The study was part of a broader project that was investigating 沙门氏菌向量在全省各地的家禽养殖场。该研究从选择的农场被困154个啮齿动物和使用 细胞色素氧化酶亚基1（COI）和 细胞色素b（ CYT-B）条形编码基因物种鉴定。两种啮齿类害虫种类，即， 黑家鼠（黑鼠）和 褐胸鼠（亚洲鼠/亚洲之家鼠）进行了鉴定。总共99（64.3％）被确定为 黑家鼠和55（35.7％）为 褐胸鼠。这两个目标基因之间， CYT-B基因只能够总样本，以确定40（25.97％），而 COI是更有效的和放大的所有样品，并由此被用于这种鉴定更好的靶基因。确定的两个鼠种是严重的疾病的已知载体;因而它们的存在不应被认为是对疾病的高风险的指示。尽管该国，发现之前已经检测 黄胸鼠作为第二大鼠种在区域是出乎意料的，因为这一物种被称为是原产于亚洲。SN - 1687-8477 UR - https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/1280578 DO - 10.1155 /一百二十八万○五百七十八分之二千○一十九JF - 国际动物学杂志PB的 - Hindawi出版KW - ER -
